week 30

ok, it's Sunday, day 6 of week 30, and I've just woken up and am blogging from my bed reflecting on the week so far and contemplating the remainder.

I've just had 2 disastrous days in a row after being good for the first 3 days.

Tuesday
was really good as far as beakfast, lunch & dinner concerned, went to the gym and did 8.5 activity points - was only let down slighly as it was Shrove Tuesday and I had 3 pancakes which took me just over my allowance.

Wednesday
fruit salad & yogurt for breakfast, then cycled to work (5.75 miles)
Midday I ate 5 points worth of dried fruit & nuts as fuel before going for a 3 mile run (36 mins).
After the run Mike knocked up lunch for me which was heavier than I would have done myself - 10 points for rump steak, rice & veg!
cycled home from work and got a chinese takeaway for dinner, but was really good and chose a low-point option - King Prawn Chow Mein for 5.5 points, followed by a low-fat yogurt.
Finished the day 2 points under my food allowance and with 12.5 activity points earned.

Thursday
a really unusual day - had muesli with skimmed milk and dried apricots before cycling to work. Lunchtime I had sweet & sour chicken with rice and made some pancakes!
Went to the pub for 2 pints after work and then Claire picked me and my bike up after she'd been shopping to save my legs from cycling home!
For dinner we had a large chicken kebab each (only 5.5 points) and I finished the day 0.5 points within my allowance (not counting any activity points) - extraordinary considering the pancakes, beer, chinese, kebab consumption!

Friday
Cycled to work and was famished when I got to the office so had muesli with soya milk and brazils & dried apricots (8.5 points)
Lunchtime I got creative and did tuna & salmon on toast with  mixed beans, sweetcorn, onion & garlic! (9 points)
Went to the pub again and had 2 pints before cycling home, when I got home I had a beer head on and went for a curry with rice & naan plus 3 more beers and a double decker.
7.5 activity points earned were dwarfed by 69 food points consumed from my 28 points daily allowance :(

Saturday
skipped breakfast and got on with numerous tasks I had to get done
Lunchtime I had a fry-up for brunch plus hot cross buns (16 points)
Popped into the pub in the afternoon and had a pint of Magners before going home and getting ready to go out with Charlie & Stu for a meal and movie.
Dinner was a bit of a blowout totalling 44 points :(
Movie was crap!
Result = 63 points consumed, 0 activity points earned - what a crap day.

So here's to some damage limitation today and tomorrow to mitigate the potential sabotage of my program that I've created in the last 2 days.
